Background

Formed by the merger of two Swiss based companies, GeoSys AG and SIG SA, GeoSIG Ltd. has been formed with the objective of combining the strengths of two of the top developers of geophysical systems. Established in 1948, SIG SA has enormous knowledge and technical capabilities. Since its founding in 1979/92, GeoSIG Ltd. has grown rapidly with instruments and systems in operation around the world. With substantial experience in the development of systems for scientific, industrial and civil engineering applications, GeoSIG is able to call on the expertise of both companies, which have established themselves in the top tier of geophysical instrumentation manufacturers.

Composed of highly dedicated and talented individuals with many years of experience in the seismic and civil engineering field, GeoSIG has developed a large variety of Strong Motion- and Seismic Recorders, Sensors and Civil Engineering Monitoring Systems and provides high quality instruments and network systems. The principle tenet of GeoSIG is providing measuring solutions to customers' problems and meeting the customers' needs. This tenet is fulfilled by superior products in terms of features, functions, quality, reliability and price performance.

The design and development of all GeoSIG systems are centred on obtaining the highest possible levels of performance, durability and reliability; qualities which are inherently associated with the words 'Swiss Made'.

To insure continuing leadership in these areas, GeoSIG is continuing to place strong emphasis on incorporating the most advanced technologies.To complement its technical capabilities and to attain high levels of quality assurance, GeoSIG has invested extensively in support and infrastructure which has collimated in achieving ISO 9001 accreditation.

Present Situation

GeoSIG has succeeded in bringing out excellent products and is recognized and well known in the seismic and civil engineering market place. GeoSIG Instruments have been designed from the outset with the future in mind. The open architecture, leading edge digital electronics, and the use of advanced engineering facilities, such as CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), Object Oriented Software Design and VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) has resulted in a system design with the power and flexibility to perform not only today's but tomorrow's motion and vibration monitoring requirements.

Numerous projects have been successfully completed ranging from single instruments to large networks in Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bhutan, Bulgaria, Canada, Columbia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, El Salvador, France, Germany, Greece, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Jamaica, Jordan, Kroatia, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Marocco, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, New Zealand, Pakistan, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, USA Uzbekistan, Venezuela.

Determined representatives have been assigned in in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, England, France, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, Jordan, Kroatia, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Marocco, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia (CIS), South Korea, Spain, Turkey, Taiwan and USA. This representative network enables GeoSIG to be present on the entire globe.
